dc.descriptionThis paper consists of analyzing whether the use of Test Specifications affect test design in terms of the selection of level appropriate texts and the creation of level appropriate questions in an EFL program. This research aims at analyzing the language level in the texts and the quality of items prior and after the implementation of Test Specifications. The methodology used to conduct this research is Mixed Research due to the fact that both Qualitative and Quantitative approaches are integrated, and Qualitative aspects can be explained in a Quantitative way.  The research is carried out revising eighteen samples of listening and reading tests of levels two and four, prior and after the implementation of Test Specifications, of an EFL program at a private university in Colombia. The main instrument used to make the revision is a checklist, as a manner of examining validity, text language appropriacy and test items quality. The results obtained show that Tests Specifications are well designed and relevant but when put into practice, they might not be well executed. Also, there are some aspects that need further explanation. For example, the approximate number of questions exams should have taking into account that the time frame is fifty minutes. A general conclusion is that documents such as Test Specifications need to be supported with complementary work since its sole creation does not guarantee significant change. The process of Test Specs creation, implementation, and improvement should be continuous to be able to observe changes in assessment tools design.es_ES
